Besan ke Laddu recipe | How to make Besan ka Laddu

Hope you guys enjoyed Raksha Bandhan yesterday. I wanted to post this recipe yesterday only, to wish all on this auspicious occasion. But, things do not always go well. I know I am a bit late for Raksha Bandhan but then there are many festivals to come now when you can try these laddus.

Well, Besan ke Laddu is a very common recipe and I am sure most of you have made it yesterday. I too tried making this last week and everyone home loved it, including me. If you have not made it yesterday, then do try my recipe next time when you make it.

The first time we had Besan ke laddu was when a relative from Lucknow sent it to us. I did not like that one much but my mom and sisters loved it. So for them I tried making this laddu once, a few month back, but it did not turn out well. The besan mixture was good in taste but its consistency was too thin to make laddu from it. We had that as a halwa that time.

This time also while making these laddus, I found the consistency is too thin, so I added some more flour to it. I referred two recipes (mentioned below) to make these laddus and copied the ingredients from the first one. Still I had to make some changes in flour’s quantity. Also, I added some raisins and almonds to it as I do not like the plain besan ka laddu.

Method:

3. Dry roast it till the raw smell of flour vanishes and the color of flour becomes a bit darker.

4. Keep the flame low to medium white roasting, as we do not the flour to burn or become brown.

5. After 10 – 12 minutes or when the flour is properly roasted, turn off the flame and remove it in a plate.

6.The same pan or kadhai, add ghee and heat it till it melt.

7. Now add the roasted flour to ghee and mix it properly.

8. Roast the flour in ghee for 6 – 7 minutes or till a nice nutty smell comes from the flour. Keep stirring as we do not want the flour to stick at the bottom. Keep the flame medium to low while roasting.

9. Turn off the flame and remove the flour mixture in a thaali.

10. The flour mixture will look a little thin, but do not worry, it will become thick as it cools down.
